Borussia Dortmund is intensifying efforts to secure a loan deal for Manchester United’s forward Marcus Rashford. Internal discussions have revealed a shift in strategy, indicating that the Bundesliga club is keen to bring the England international on board.
Previously, Dortmund appeared to distance themselves from pursuing Rashford, as head coach Nuri Sahin had reportedly identified other targets. Concerns surrounding the financial implications of Rashford’s transfer cost were also raised, suggesting that Dortmund might struggle to meet the player’s wage demands.
However, the club’s renewed interest comes amid active competition from AC Milan, who are simultaneously working to finalize their own deal for Rashford. Members of Rashford’s camp have actively engaged with multiple European teams throughout the month to assess potential transfer conditions.
Current indications suggest that Manchester United would prefer a straightforward loan arrangement if they decide to part ways with Rashford, who was recently omitted from the matchday squad for a Premier League clash against Southampton.
United’s manager, Ruben Amorim, recently evaded speculation regarding whether this could be Rashford’s final appearance for the club, stating, “I don’t know. We will see.”
In a related development, reports indicate that AC Milan has prioritized Rashford over Manchester City’s Kyle Walker for the upcoming January transfer window. With Walker exploring his options, Milan is faced with the restriction of registering only one English player due to Serie A regulations. This limitation complicates their pursuit of additional talent from the Premier League.
The outcome of Dortmund’s renewed interest and AC Milan’s strategy remains to be seen, particularly as both clubs navigate the complexities of transfer regulations and financial constraints. Fans eagerly await updates as the January transfer window is officially open, and all eyes remain on Rashford’s potential next move.
